USER GUIDE

Welcome to the chat! 👋

Want to chat along during the broadcast? On this page you will find everything you can do as a chatter.

You can join as a guest or use your own account. There are also handy commands for requests, AFK, actions and other features.

👤 Guest or account?

Je kunt de chat gewoon als gast gebruiken. Wil je dat jouw naam echt van jou blijft, maak dan een geregistreerd account.

Tip: With an account, nobody else can choose your registered name.

Registered account

  • Your username remains linked to your account.
  • You can log in with your account.
  • Forgot your password? Use the “Forgot?” option on the login screen to reset it.
  • Je kunt een eigen profielfoto/avatar instellen via Instellingen → Algemeen.

💬 Chatting

Typ je bericht in het invoerveld en verstuur het. Commando's beginnen altijd met een /.

Marcel: Hallo allemaal!
Sanne: Gezellige uitzending 🎵
Let op: Een commando wordt uitgevoerd wanneer het bericht met een slash begint, bijvoorbeeld /wie.

These commands are available to regular chatters and registered users.

🎛️ Extra features in the chat bar

Besides commands, the chat has useful buttons and features that you do not need to type.

  • 🎧 number next to the player — shows live how many people are currently listening to the stream.
  • ↓ button — appears when you have scrolled up and new messages arrive; click it to catch up.
  • Emoji reactions — hover over a message and click “🙂+” to react without typing. Click the same emoji again to remove it. The station decides which emojis are available.
  • @name — type @ followed by part of someone’s name and choose from the suggestions. If you are mentioned, it is highlighted, with a sound and a flashing tab title if you are not looking.
  • Compacte modus — via Instellingen → Algemeen: minder ruimte tussen berichten, handig als je veel op het scherm wilt hebben.
  • Color scheme — use the palette button (◐) next to the gear to choose a personal color scheme, only for your own screen.
  • Right-click a name in the online list — opens a small menu with quick options like Mention and Nudge.
  • Name suggestions with commands — type e.g. /nudge followed by the first letters of a name, and a list of matching online names appears to choose from.
Your listening time for this week is stored locally in your browser (next to the player) — just for you; nothing is sent to the server.

🔔 Push notifications

Turn on 🔔 Notifications at the top of the chat and you will receive a notification on your device when a DJ goes live — even if this page is not open.

Tip: your browser asks for permission the first time. If you say “no” (or “block”), you must enable it later in your browser settings — it cannot be restored from the chat itself.

📊 Polls

When a DJ starts a poll (for example “which song next?”), a voting box automatically appears above the messages. Click an option to vote — you immediately see the percentages update live.

You can change your choice while the poll is open by clicking another option. When the DJ closes the poll, a result card appears with the final result — visible to everyone.

🎵 Music request

You can quickly submit a request from the chat — using the command below, or more easily via the “🎵 Request a song” button above the chat. It opens a window with separate fields for artist, title and an optional message; no dash is needed.

> /verzoek Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

With the command, always enter the artist first, then a - and then the title.

Example: /verzoek André Hazes - Zij gelooft in mij
If your request is played, the DJ will often mention it in the chat — click ❤️ underneath to say thanks.

😀 Smilies

The chat supports smilies. The station can also provide custom smilies.

Use the smiley buttons/picker in the chat when available.

Custom smilies are managed by the station administrator.

🎰 Coins & gambling

Just for fun, no real money: every chatter starts with 100 coins and can claim a daily bonus with /munten.

> /gok 20
🎰 [ 🍒 🍒 🍋 ] Jij zet 20 munten in en wint 40! Nieuw saldo: 120

Bet coins with /gok <bet> — losing is always limited to what you actually bet.

📹 Webcam

This chat has an integrated webcam feature. When you activate your webcam, your webcam status may be shown with your online presence.

Privacy tip: Only turn on your camera when you actually want other chatters to see you via webcam.

🖼️ Images

Depending on the station settings, it may be possible to post images in a chat message.

This feature is not automatically available to every user or station.

🛡️ Chat rules

Every radio chat can have its own rules. Use /regels in the chat to view the current rules of that station.

  • Treat other chatters with respect.
  • Use the chat for its intended purpose.
  • Spam and disruptive behavior may be addressed by moderation.
  • Respect instructions from DJs and moderators.
  • The station’s specific rules take precedence.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can also chat as a guest. An account is mainly useful if you want your name linked to you and want to use your own profile/avatar.

Why do I get a welcome message from a bot?

The chat has a small, automatic welcome bot that greets new chatters and occasionally suggests a conversation topic when it has been quiet for a while. It is not a real person and does not require a reply.

How do I see who is online?

Gebruik /wie. Daarmee vraag je de huidige online gebruikers op.

How do I set myself to AFK?

Gebruik bijvoorbeeld /afk koffie. Met alleen /afk haal je de AFK-status weer weg.

How do I clear only my own screen?

Gebruik /clear. Dit verwijdert alleen de berichten uit jouw eigen weergave; het verwijdert de chatberichten niet voor andere gebruikers.

How do I submit a request?

Gebruik /verzoek artiest - titel. Bijvoorbeeld: /verzoek Queen - Don't Stop Me Now.

What is the difference between guest and registered?

A guest can simply chat. With a registered account, your name stays linked to your account and you can use your own avatar, among other things.

Why does a feature not work?

Some features may be disabled by the station or available only to certain user roles. Try /help first and then check the chat rules if needed.

Which commands are for DJs?

DJ commands are deliberately not included in this user guide. They are only available when you are logged in with DJ privileges.

What does the 👑 crown next to someone’s name mean?

That is a moderator — a registered user who has received extra rights from an admin to help moderate. They are not a DJ, but can remove inappropriate messages just like a DJ.

I do not receive push notifications even though they are enabled

Check whether your browser allows notifications for this site (separate from the 🔔 button in the chat — your browser can still block them at a higher level). Also check whether your operating system has “do not disturb” or a similar mode enabled.

I do not see a poll even though one has started

Refresh the page manually if necessary — the voting box normally appears automatically within a few seconds above the messages when a DJ starts a poll.

How do I react to someone’s message with an emoji?

Hover over the message (or tap it on mobile), click the “🙂+” that appears, and choose an emoji. Clicking the same emoji again removes your reaction.

What happens if someone mentions me with @name?

Your name is highlighted in that message with a brief color flash so you notice it among the other chat messages. If you are not looking at the tab, you also hear a sound and the tab title flashes.

How do I thank the DJ for playing my request?

Once a request has been played, the DJ will often mention it in the chat. Click ❤️ underneath to say thanks — just like a normal emoji reaction.

🎧 Have fun in the chat!

Listen along, chat, request a song and make it a great broadcast together. 🎶
